Do you work for the same wage as a Chinese coolie? Do you realize that when you pump and carry water by hand, you are doing work that an electric pump could do for almost nothing? It takes less than a penny’s worth of current for an electric motor to pump as much water as a strong man can pump and carry in an hour. Relieving the housewife, the hus band, or the waterboy of the hours of drudgery required to supply the farm and farm home with water is one of the greatest advantages of electricity on the farm, said D. E. Jones, State College extension speci alist in rural electrification. I An electric pump, he added, costs less to operate than a range, and usee about the same number of kil owatt hours as a refrigerator. With the national Rural Electrifi cation Administration ready to lend millions of dollars for the con struction of power lines and the wiring of buildings in North Caro lina, he added, farmers should seize the chance to electrify their com munities. “The only way you can get this money” he stated, is to cooperate with your neighbors in starting a rural electrification project, and showing the REA you will make good use of the money. “The state REA and tHe State College extension service are glad to help get these projects started wherever the farmers show they are interested. “But we cannot conduct the rural electrification program by ourselves. We can only help you. Are you in terested?” UNFOUNDED RAIL FEARS Washington, D. C. When the Interstate Commercq Commission, ordered Eastern raidroads to reduce fares to 2 cepts a mile on June Ist, the carriers protested they would “suffer irreparable damages.” Most of the big systems filed suits to an nul the ICC order. July traffic re ports show the Baltimore & Ohio, which accepted the cut, with in creased passenger revenue up 22 per cent. The New York Central and the New Haven, both of which protest ed lower rates, increased 20 and 15 per cent respectively. In thb West, where rates were slashed two years ago, the Union Pacific gained 48 per cent in July. Facetiously, the Ches apeake & Ohio sent an engraved announcement to stockholders read ing, “The Eastern railroads ... re gret that, for money, they have permitted a horde of total strangers to invade their privacy.” o The Vance County Soil Erosion Control Association has been or ganizeji and is now negotiating for the purchase of a tractor and ter racing unit.
